The leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra,
Nnamdi Kanu

I am Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of Indigenous
people of Biafra
and also the director of radio Biafra.
I have restored Biafra without a gunshot,
I have destroyed Nigeria with truth and
I have conquered Nigeria
with Chiukwuokikeabiama.
They waited for me to bomb and shoot,
but i refused to use metallic bullet and
atomic bombs,


I only used intellectual bullets and bombs and I
have
flawlessly won the war.
I stood just ordinary radio station and propagated
the gospel of Chukwuokikeabiama,
the word of God is power and that power have
destroyed Nigeria and restored Biafra.
I observed freedom of speech and fearlessly
preached truth,


I am fearless even before death because am
prophesy of over
400 years ago.
If God is not man then his prophesy shall come to
pass and those that
stand against God will know Chiukwuokikeabiama
is creation.
I have lawfully followed stipulated procedures for
self-determination and have never
been involved in any form of violence or crime, I
have always
told you Biafrans to be disciplined and law-abiding
and
you have made me proud.


I am grateful that we are whiter than white and
whiter than snow.
We have no dishonour neither do we have any
spot, they have killed us mercilessly
and we have never killed back yet they arrested
us and tried to break us to betray Biafra.
They arrested me for saying the truth, nothing
but the truth.
They arrested me for demanding Biafra,
they arrested me for embracing freedom of
speech.


They conspired and arrested me for being lawful
and demanding attention.
They arrested me because peace is prohibited
in Nigeria; they arrested me
because dialogue is impossible in Nigeria.
They arrested me because I refused to take
up arms, they arrested me because
I defeated them intellectually.
When a man is defeated by reason, he sought to
discharge
his frustration on justice.
I am a prisoner of
conscience and I am
sure the world still have conscience.


I am Nnamdi Kanu, I have chosen death, I shall
die for
Biafra and let my death give my generation a
better life, let my
death be a guarantee for a better future, let my
death be
your smile and let my death end your
marginalization, subjugation, slavery and tears.


I am Nnamdi Kanu the lion that chose death over
the abuse of
his people. I instead die than renounce Biafra,
give me Biafra or kill me is where I stand.
I have been arrested for nothing, I am a prisoner
of conscience,
they are here to break me, to make me renounce
Biafra but they don’t know me, they don’t know
Biafra is my
religion and they don’t know renouncing Biafra is
a death
sentence, is like committing suicide.


In their widest dream shall I commit suicide and
I assure them that days of
reckoning will come, for Chiukwuokikeabiama
shall
avenge the death of His children.
I have taken an oath with the name of God that I
shall never
betray or give up Biafra because I knew this day
will come.


I am physically and psychologically prepared
for this period.
I took the oath and staked my family,
my generations and everything I am,
and so giving up Biafra in any condition is
impossible, even at gun point, I will only
accept my inevitable death than renounce Biafra.

I have been arrested before but this time is more
severe, the
harder the price is the closer the Kingdom of
God, even
Yawehesua prayed that only if this cup will pass
over him.
They came with every tactics they know to
deceive me into
signing off Biafra, they promised me freedom,
heaven
and earth, but I told devil to get behind me for
the Kingdom of
God worth nothing man can offer.


I am more intelligent than them and I will defeat
them to a
point nothing will be left to fight for, Biafra will
be and it has come to stay.
I appeared in the court on 19th Feb 2016, in the
face of this
persecution to coerce me into giving up Biafra, I
wore a clean
white cloth and tagged Biafran flag under the
pocket of my
white lace.


I tagged the flag there because that is where life
is and this is to tell you that Biafra is why i
breathe.
I will never ever disappoint you and will die for
Biafra to come.
The Biafran flag badge tagged on my white lace is
to remind
the world that I am resolute and shall never in
this life accept their gold to sale Biafra.


The world has no option except giving me Biafra
and
everything in Nigeria shall be at risk if anything
happens to me.
Biafrans love me and together we have chosen
death or give
us Biafra, should anything happen to me then
my command remains.
Meanwhile, I have followed you great Biafrans
and I must
confess that I am satisfied, you have made me
proud and my
message to you all is to stay strong, remain
resolute and
focused.


We must not give up, we should continue
pushing strong, we should continue our
peaceful protest because it is frustrating Nigerian
government and we must keep spreading the
message of
Biafra and at the end we shall win.
